As a brief review, ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease can be thought of as a spectrum that ranges from stable angina to unstable angina which may progress to myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.

As we know, stable angina is caused by luminal narrowing of coronary arteries whereas unstable angina is caused by plaque rupture and thrombus formation leading to stenosis.

Myocardial infarction results when you have occlusion of the coronary artery leading to ischemia and then infarction of the myocardium.

And within that, a STEMI is generallycaused by complete occlusion and a NSTEMI is typically caused by a partial occlusion.

Rather than specific key topic review today, we are very pleased to be able to bring you the gurus of the CCFP Exam and medical education in general, as well as the duo behind the nation-wide 'The Review Course'.

Drink in the knowledge that these two gents have gathered over many years of teaching, examining and reviewing the CCFP Exam, both SOOs and SAMPs.

We discuss:

• is oxygen considered a medication or a treatment?
• what should the structure of my SOO approach be?
• best ways to study?
• exam accommodation tips?
• plenty of dad jokes, and more

While the title of this key topic makes me uncomfortable, the excellent and succinct script is wonderful.

Caleb Dusdal and Dr Kristin Dawson discuss the CCFP Objectives for Heart Failure.

Lots of crazy sounds, and tons of laughter as ever. Enjoy.

Join us as we update the Dizziness episode with the expertise of vertigo guru, Dr Peter Johns. When he isn't trying to update the medical internet community into more clinically useful vertigo management, he is working as an ER Physician in Ottawa, as well as in the Rapid Access Dizziness(RAD) clinic helping dizzy patients.

Here we update the prior episode with clinical pearls like:

• do not bother with HINTS unless there is persistent nystagmus
• how to bring out an otherwise hidden nystagmus
• commonest features of BPPV, and when you might miss a less obvious BPPV
• please do not focus on the ubiquitous central v peripheral vertigo table we all have been taught
• and much more

Hypertension is one of those issues that we encounter every day in family practice, whether in the office or acute settings. Roughly one in four to one in five Canadian has hypertension. It is a top modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the number one cause of death and disability worldwide.

In[JR1] fact, a 2018 systematic review in Canadian Family Physician found that globally, across both developed and developing nations, hypertension was essentially tied with upper respiratory tract infections for being the most common reason for a visit (at least according to the doctors).

Which is why it is typically the first disease that comes to my mind when I think about the preventative side of primary care.

All that to say, this episode is a big one. We focused primarily on the Hypertension Canada guidelines when researching this episode, since that's what will be most relevant for your CCFP exam. But other guidelines exist and you should be aware that they do not all agree.

Today's episode is a continuation of Episode 9, where we delve into the details of the newborn exam, reviewing both the subtle and the serious findings you may come across. In Part 2, we cover the chest and down. We will review upper-limb birth traumas, approach to murmurs, the differential for increased work of breathing, emergent management of abdominal wall defects, the approach to the infant who has failed to void and/or pass meconium, and so much more. Enjoy!
